"The first 15 to 20 minutes is the closest to how I see us playing in terms of our intensity, how quickly we move the ball and the chances, good chances, we create.

"I know we're playing away from home but that's how I see us playing, so that was pleasing.

"They had a little spell but I thought we got to grips with that and saw it out before half-time.

"The lads took on the information well and I thought we caused them a lot of problems."
